Dark FF- The Billionaire Who Wants Me- RIKARA P8 PG14 - Page 4

Omkara looked around at the boxes still full up "Planning on moving away again" he joked, Gauri looked away, she never did like to unpack, it was easier when everything was easier to take away if she ever needed to
"Uh, I didnt get around to unpacking yet"

Omkara followed her into the living room, it was a small home, neat and cosy. "Would you like a" she turned around to face him to see he was right behind her, a jovial smirk on his face
"A drink, yes please, coffee, black" his eyes lit up with humour at her shocked state, she nodded and moved to make him it

Gauri made the drinks and held one out to him, she sat down on the sofa next to Omkara and lifted her legs up, crossing them beneath her, he looked over his cup at her as she tried hard to avoid his gaze
"So, Gauri" she froze, turning back to face him
"Why did you invite me in"

"If we're going to be having dinner weekly, I should get to know you right" she gulped
"Here was me thinking you just invited me in because you wanted to"
"I wouldnt have invited you in if I didnt" she rebuffed, this was dangerous, so very dangerous but she had been alone for so many years, no friends, and now when friendship stared her right in the face, she didnt have the strength to turn her back on it and walk away

Omkara placed his cup down "You want to know me better right, ask away"
She looked over at him, then placed her cup down "Why are you so interested in me"
"How did I know you would ask that", he raised a brow at the fear on her face, was she scared of him or his answer?
"Theres something peaceful about you, serene, you carry a certain grace about you and you're mysterious, and beautiful to"

Gauri shook her head, she wasnt beautiful, nowhere near beautiful, but if a man as handsome as him felt she was then maybe she was atleast preety in some way
"Youre a business man right, what kind of business"
He cleared his throat "Property development, its called OPD industries, Oberoi Property Development"
Her eyes widened "You own it" she asked

He nodded, "Well then for a man as rich as you, you could have anyone really, a girl more at your level, so why me"
"You are at my level"
She laughed "How"
He tapped his nose "Its a secret, maybe ill tell you some day"
She pouted, "Cant you tell me now" she pleaded
He shook his head "Stop looking at me like that"
Gauri smirked and dropped her gaze

"Anymore questions Gauri" his voice was husky as he leaned forward, relishing the sound of her name on his lips
"Just one last question"
He nodded
"Say we have dinner weekly, what day will it be on, what time, will we alternate whos house we are at and"
Omkara raised his hand stopping her "Thats already three questions, Wednesdays or Saturdays work best for me, lets say 7pm we eat, but we meet at 6pm and yes we can alternate"

Gauri nodded "Okay I dont have anymore questions, unless you do"
"Yes, just one" he paused "Are we starting tomorrow, how much money do you want and why do you keep looking at me like that"
She smiled "That was three questions, yes if you would like" she had forgotten about the money aspect "Anything you want and looking at you like what"

"Like Im crazy"
"Thats because you are"
"Oh really how" he raised his brow
"Youre paying me to spend time with you, thats crazy"
He smiled "Crazy got me here, so ill roll with it"
Omkara stood up "So I will see you at six tomorrow then"
She nodded and with that he was gone

Gauri had been nervous all day, it was 5:55pm and she still wasnt sure her attire was correct for dinner. Omkara always seemed to look dashing in his shirt and blazer, and she was lucky to look good on a day with maximum effort

The doorbell took her out of her trance, her hands were sweaty, she wiped them on her skirt before pulling the door open
Omkara looked up, his jaw dropping at her beauty
Her hair was wavy, trailing down her front, she had a dark red skirt on embroidered with green jems and a green long sleeved top with a low neck line
"You look" he stopped, gulping "beautiful"

"Thanks" she stood back, allowing him to come in "These are for you" he handed her the red roses, "Thank you, they're beautiful"
Omkara pulled off his blazer and hung it up, he unbuttoned his shirt sleeves and rolled them above his elbows, his muscles clenched as he did the buttons up again
"Um I made us dinner, I hope thats okay"

A childish smile made its way to his lips "Its been a long time since ive had home made food"
Gauri set the flowers down and then sat to the table, she served him food then sat back down again, waiting to see what he thought
"Mm, its amazing, thank you, who taught you to cook like this"
"My mother, she would always cook and let me sit with her, tasting it as she cooked"

Her eyes burnt with tears and she looked away, clearing her throat
"Do you miss her"
"Very much so" her voice broke "But shes with me, in my heart"
"I think she would be proud of the woman you are today"
"Really" he nodded "Really" he repeated
Gauri looked down at her plate, eating her food
"I decided to make dinner slightly early, so we could talk after"
He nodded "I like that idea"

After finishing, Gauri stood up and took the plates to the sink, "Leave them, lets go for a walk"
Omkara tugged her with him slowly and walked outside
Without realising she pulled his blazer and slipped it on, Omkara turned to look at her and chuckled "You look better in my clothes than I do"
Gauri looked down, blushing, she whipped the sleeves around and giggled "Its huge"

Omkara put his arm around her waist, pulling her closer "Thats because you're tiny"
Gauri wasnt sure why breathing felt so difficult when she was so close to him, she gazed deeply into his eyes, rasing her hand she rested it on his cheek
He smiled against her hand "They say all good things come in small packages"
Gauri huffed and pulled away "Stop flirting with me"
"Why"
Gauri didnt have a coherent excuse or reason to answer that

She looked down at his warm hand which held hers as they walked slowly along the road
His arm brushed against her shoulder as he moved her away from the busy road, "So Gauri, where did you live before coming here"
"India, Canada then the UK"
He smiled, a slight dimple in his cheek "So you move a lot, why, hasnt anyone made you want to settle"?
"Not really, I like to stay to myself, some people just don't let me do that"

"Im not sorry for that, a lonely life is no good, everyone needs someone" his eyes held sincerity
She sighed heavily, she had lived most of her life with memories of people she loved and that was all she had, Omkara stretched out his hand with hers and looked down at it
"See how good this looks"

Gauri couldnt help but agree

Thanks lovely! She is running from a man, but not an ex!

Haha writer magic 😛

Thanks lovely! It has something to do with Tej, you're right but no he isnt dead! Thank you, I hope you enjoy it!

SO she is truly single for Omkie

I love how they can't explain why they chose each other

I like the way you slowly built up the closeness and the calmness they find in each other

Om is right no one can stay alone forever and I can't wait for them to truly fall for each other

Thanks for the pm

Thank you for updating. It was awesome.

Their growing fondness and the comfort they share is really beautiful..
